About the Global Schools Network
The The Global Schools Network accelerates excellence in international education. Coordinated by VIF International Education, this diverse network of teachers, principals, partners, and pioneers in education build a foundation for the future that give all students the opportunity to succeed in a global marketplace. Piloted in 2011 as an education and economic development initiative with the U.S. Department of State and North Carolina's State Board of Education, Departments of Public Instruction and Commerce, and the N.C. Business Committee for Education, the Global Schools Network now includes schools, districts and partners all over the world.
